âDid I offend anyone? What happened?â
Lin Yi was also confused, not knowing what was going on.
âjust now, the higher-ups called me, specifically saying they want to transfer you to the Urban Management Office.â
âThe Urban Management Office? As in, to become a city manager?
âThatâs pretty much what it means. Itâs a position with a lower rank and benefits.â
âWho called you?â
âWhy are you asking about this? Kid, calm down. Donât do anything stupid.â
Lin Yi smiled. âDonât worry, I know what Iâm doing. Just tell me.â
âHis name is Zhang Jin.â
âAlright, I understand. Thank you, Leader.â
After thanking him, Lin Yi hung up.
Wang Ying spat out the food in her mouth and looked at Lin Yi.
âDid something happen on your side?â
âItâs a small problem, but I can deal with it.â
âThen donât move. I can do this myself.â
With that, Wang Ying brought Lin Yi to the side, lifted her skirt, and started eating.
Lin Yi patted her butt. âKeep your voice down, I need to make a call.â
âUnderstood.â
Lin Yi took out his phone and called Chen Bingqiang.
âPresident Lin.â
âChief Chen, I want to ask you about someone,â Lin Yi asked, âDo you know someone called Zhang Jin?â
âI do. Heâs a department director.â Chen Bingqiang said, âDo you two know each other?â
âI donât know him, but he called my direct superior and said he wanted to transfer me to the Urban Management Office below.â
âDid such a thing really happen?â
They were all part of the same system, so Chen Bingqiang naturally knew what this transfer meant.
âAlright, you donât have to do anything about this. Iâll help you deal with it.â Chen Bingqiang said seriously.
âThese people are getting bolder.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âNo, no, no. Donât deal with it yet.â Lin Yi said.
âLet him stay for a few days. There are other matters here. Iâll deal with them myself first.â
âAlright, Iâll wait for your notice. Just give me a call when you need me to do something.â
âOkay, thank you, Chief Chen.â
âWeâre all on the same side. Thereâs no need to stand on ceremony. Just call me
if you need anything.â
After discussing the official matter, Lin Yi hung up the phone. His eyes shifted as he pieced together the situation.
It was not easy for someone to arrange his transfer so casually; not many had that level of influence.
Considering the recent meal he had attended, aside from Zhao Fenghua, no one else was likely to orchestrate such a move.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi smiled and called Liu Guangxian.
âLeader, transfer my file to the Urban Management Office.
âSighâ¦â
On the other end of the phone, Liu Guangxian sighed, as if he had heard that someone had died.
â Donât struggle for now. Iâll see if thereâs a chance to transfer you back later.â âYou donât have to worry about me. It doesnât matter where I am. You still have a lot of things to do at home. Donât worry too much about me. If your hair turns white, Iâll have to buy you some ointment,â Lin Yi said with a smile.
âGo away, get lost.â Liu Guangxian scolded, âAlthough I donât know whatâs going on, Iâll help you think of a solution.â
âThank you, Leader.â
After a simple chat, Lin Yi hung up. He was a little touched.
Although there were many f *cking people in society, there were also many good people.
After hanging up on Liu Guangxian, Lin Yi started working on Wang Ying, but Li Xianghui called a few minutes later.
âWhatâs going on? Why were you transferred to the Urban Management
Office?â
âI donât know. I think I offended someone.â
âWhat the f*ck!â
Li Xianghui cursed. Obviously, he had already learned about this from Liu Guangxian. Otherwise, he would not act like this.
âI heard from the leader that he wants you to report tomorrow.â Li Xianghui said.
âBut once youâve reported in, come back. You wonât need to ask anyone else for leave. I might not have many capabilities, but I can at least ensure that I can protect you.â
âAlright, Iâll see how it goes.â
âThereâs been progress in Song Deyuanâs case,â Li Xianghui said.
âIn Du Juanâs home, we indeed found Wang Jiaâs fingerprints, but there were no fingerprints on the gas pipe or the doorknob. Her fingerprints could have been from a previous visit to the house. However, the absence of any fingerprints on the gas pipe is suspicious.â
âItâs normal. The gas pipeline is a blind spot. As long as there are no issues, no one would touch it.â Lin Yi said.
âBut there were no fingerprints left there. Itâs very likely that the other party wore gloves when they set up the scene.â
âThatâs what we thought. Very professional.â
âSo whatâs the new lead youâre talking about?â
âZhang Haoâs parents have a house in Du Juanâs neighborhood. Itâs right below her,s but no one has been there for a long time.â
âHmm? His parentsâ house?!â
âWhen we found out about this, we also felt that it was a little unbelievable. We felt that this was too much of a coincidence.â
âThen we might have the answer.â Lin Yi said.
âCheck his parentsâ house and see if Wang Jiaâs fingerprints are there.â âIâve already gotten someone to investigate again. Weâll get the results tomorrow.â Li Xianghui said.
âWeâll do further investigations later. Just report back to the station after youâre done tomorrow. Donât worry about anything else.
âOkay.â
After talking to Li Xianghui, Lin Yi hung up and started working.
Another hour later, a satisfying battle ended.
Wang Ying returned to her desk, feeling drained. âMy legs are so sore. One of these days, I need to get a sofa that can be turned into a bed.â
âYou really need to improve your stamina.â
âItâs mainly because Iâve been so busy lately, I havenât had time to go to the gym. Otherwise, it wouldnât be like this,â Wang Ying said wistfully.
âYou still need to practice more. Deep squats, yoga, those are essential.
âGot it, got it.â
Wang Ying said with a flirtatious look, âThe main issue is the space is too small; it limits my performance. Otherwise, you might not necessarily be my match.â
âYou always resist, but in the end, youâre the one who loses,â Lin Yi said with a smile.
âThe main issue is that you havenât taken down Manager Ji. Itâs indeed a bit tough for me alone,â Wang Ying retorted, lifting her head proudly.
âIf this goes on for a few more years, and your condition declines, you definitely wonât be my match.â
Lin Yi thought for a moment, then suddenly shuddered.
If in a few years, Ji Qingyan and the other three reached an even more formidable age, and he started to wonder if he could actually handle them.
And with Yan Ci sneaking around outside, it was truly terrifying.
âHow is it? Are you afraid?â
Wang Ying gloated and took out a black thermos from the drawer. It looked quite exquisite.
âWhat is that?â
âThermos.â
While speaking, Wang Ying also took out a packet of goji berries, âIâm giving you these two things, and you need to start taking supplements from now on. I donât want a platonic relationship between us.â
